1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: So, Eddie, during your mayhem last night, one of the

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: things that you forgot about on the group text was

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: to remind me that Rabbi's coming on right. Yeah, that's

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: my fault, no worries. He's always a welcome guest of

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: the program. He's on the Joba House Coldbrew Coffee guest line.

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: We will get to Eddie's frantic evening in just a bit,

7
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: but Jeff rab John's joining us from peagues dot Com.

8
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 1: Indiana basketball with one left, and it's a big one. Jeff,

9
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: I'll begin with this a pleasure as always to have

10
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: you on. Do you believe that this game with Indiana

11
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: out Ohio State is a make it or break it

12
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: when it comes to the tournament?

13
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they have to win it, or if

14
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: they don't win that one, I think they would almost

15
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: have to win.

16
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 3: The Big Ten tournament.

17
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: So I think it's you know, if they win it,

18
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: I don't think that puts them in. I think they're

19
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 2: probably going to need one more, but it would be

20
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 2: a quad one win, so it really helped the resume.

21
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think they got to win that one

22
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: or things get real, real, real.

23
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 4: Dicey, Jeff.

24
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: When you look at this team, and you know, Sam

25
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: Alexis was obviously outstanding against Minnesota. And the one thing

26
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: you know, we know Lamar Wilkersons can score. You and

27
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: I have talked about this and Tucker Derees, you know,

28
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: when he's able to get looks. We know that Derees

29
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: can score, and he's been good on the glass as well.

30
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: But what is it that has given Darren Devrees's offense

31
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: trouble in terms of trying to find that consistent third

32
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: scoring option.

33
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really think the issue is the talent level.

34
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 2: The guys play hard, There's there's effort and intensity, but

35
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 2: I think the biggest thing is talent level. Like, I

36
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: think the two things that would really help them is

37
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 2: a more dynamic guard and then you know a legit

38
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: post player, you know, big ten level guy, like a dude.

39
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: And when I say more dynamic guards, like it doesn't

40
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: have to be great, but more like like a boy

41
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 2: or a black welve from Wisconsin, people who can really

42
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: shoot it and really break down off the dribble. The

43
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: only guy Indiana has who can break opponents down off

44
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: the dribble is taking Connorway and he does it here

45
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: and there. But also you know he has some turnover issues.

46
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 2: You know, there's times where the passes just get a

47
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: little too casual. But I really think the biggest issue

48
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 2: is I just think it's talent level. You know, Connor

49
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 2: Enwright plays his Tayloff, give him all the credit.

50
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 3: In the world.

51
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: But if you have a top twenty five type roster

52
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: Connor and writes the guy who comes off the bench,

53
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: that's just the reality of it. So yeah, I think

54
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: to me, talent level is the biggest thing that is

55
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: differentiating this Indiana team from being a bubble team and

56
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: being clearly in the NCAA Tournament at this point of

57
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 2: the season.

58
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: When you watched Senior Night, Jeff Jeff rab Johns is

59
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: my guest Peaks dot com. When you watched Senior Night,

60
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: did it feel to you the same as it did

61
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 1: in the quote unquote old school style where you had

62
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: guys that have been there for four year years and

63
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 1: were ingrained within the fabric of it. There's a reason

64
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: I ask it, and I'm not trying to lead the

65
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: witness here, but did you get that feeling that there

66
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: was sentimentality for the roster?

67
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 2: No? No, And I think part of it is, you know,

68
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 2: a lot of those guys that have been on campus

69
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 2: for nine months, right, you know, so it's kind of

70
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 2: hard to build, Like fans need time usually to build

71
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: genuine fondness and attachment and fondness for an attachment to players.

72
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 2: You know, watching them grow is part of what creates

73
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: the attachment to the fans. And it's really really tough

74
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: just to you know, develop attachment in nine months. You know,

75
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 2: you can chair for them, you know, and all that

76
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. But I don't know, there was I

77
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: did not feel any sentimentality really appreciation for yeah, but

78
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: not really there was no there's just what any emotion

79
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: to it.

80
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 3: You know.

81
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: I'm sure to work for the players. It's the final

82
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 2: home games, but it's not like guys who have been

83
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: there for four years.

84
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: Here's why I ask it, Jeff, And I know that

85
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: you know Ryan Carr well as well. You and I

86
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: have talked about him, you know, the last time you

87
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: were on and I know Ryan, you know, we went

88
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: to college together, and I remember I remember one night

89
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: sitting in our apartment in college and Ryan was recalling

90
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: the senior night of ninety three when you had Colbert

91
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: Cheney and Greg Graham in that group and Ryan was.

92
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: I remember him looking off into the distance and saying, like, man,

93
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: that was such a special night. And Ryan Carr is

94
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: now the guy that is dually responsible along with Darren

95
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: Debrees of building a roster in Indiana. Do you believe

96
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: or do you think that can today in today's college

97
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: basketball environment? Will Indiana somewhat target players in the crazy

98
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: wild West world that we're in, Jeff, will it be?

99
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: Do you think somewhat of a priority to get some

100
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: foundation of roster of players that are going to be

101
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: there for multiple years that you can quote grow with

102
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: like you mentioned.

103
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, I think that is a very clear aim

104
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: and we're seeing it already. You know, they've got three

105
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six nineties all national top eighty guys.

106
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 3: But when you look at you.

107
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: Know, guys like Prince Alexander Moody, you know, good player,

108
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 2: four star guard comes out of Bishop McNamara, Washington Catholic

109
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: Athletic Conference out there in the d C, same same league.

110
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 2: Victor Oladipot came out of Lee Projects, is a four

111
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 2: year guy. So I think they're, you know, they're starting

112
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:46,239
Speaker 2: to get, you know, guys who can be their foundation pieces.

113
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: And yeah, and I know if I'm talking to Ryan

114
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 2: specifically about IU that they do want recruit, retain, and

115
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 2: develop to be a piece of the program. Yes, they're

116
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 2: still going to utilize the portal. Yes, they realized portal

117
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 2: is going to be really important next year because you know,

118
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 2: they just it has to be. You can't in today's

119
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 2: world just get high school players and have situations like

120
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 2: you did you know Tom Crans first three years and

121
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 2: Mandrew rebuild it all, but there was no transfer portal.

122
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 2: So yeah, they're going to use the transfer portals, but

123
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 2: they want to get away from being total portal dependent.

124
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 3: You know the.

125
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 2: Program Woodson's last two years was, you know it was

126
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: it was totally free agent dependent and that you know,

127
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 2: if you hit correctly, it could work. If you don't,

128
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 2: if you don't get the right mix, or if you

129
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: get a guy or two who really is just there

130
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 2: for the paycheck, that can create problems not only in

131
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 2: the locker room but on the court. It's hard to

132
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 2: win that way.

133
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: What would you, Jeff, how would you in a perfect world?

134
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: And it's just such an ever evolving, you know ingredient mix,

135
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: But in a perfect world, if you were to look

136
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: at it from what you've seen, you would want what

137
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: percent of your roster to be original commit we're growing them, guys,

138
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: and what percent of your roster to be there transfer portal,

139
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: immediately able to get out on the floor guys.

140
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 2: I really think if I was I could wave a

141
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 2: magic wand I would want seventy five percent of them

142
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 2: coming from high school into my program. Maybe they transfer

143
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: in after their freshman year, but I would want multi

144
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: year guys. I would want to recruit, retain, and developed

145
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 2: to be to be three quarters of it. And that

146
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 2: way you've got really really strong culture, you know. I

147
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 2: think I think that's one of the reasons that Purdue

148
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 2: has sustained, you know, a high level of play. They've been,

149
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: you know, a top four or five seed in the

150
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: NCAA tournament for I think like seven or eight NCAA tournaments.

151
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 3: You know, that's.

152
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 2: Pretty significant as far as sustaining a level of play.

153
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 2: I understand they've had some upsets this year, but they're

154
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 2: upsets because Perdue was you know, really really good and

155
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 2: they got knocked off a couple of times. But I

156
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: think having a core is a big part of sustaining

157
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: your success. And I understand some programs have done it,

158
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 2: you know, more portal dependent. But you look at the

159
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 2: teams who are you know, projected to be.

160
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 3: High seeds this year.

161
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 2: There are a lot of guys on those teams that

162
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: have been in those programs for multiple years. Again, I'm

163
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 2: not against transflers or anything like that. I understand the

164
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 2: piece of it, but I would not want to have

165
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 2: to if I was running a program, I would not

166
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 2: want to be dependent upon the portal every spring to

167
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 2: have a good season the next year. I just think

168
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 2: that's I think they get scary. I don't think it's

169
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a recipe for consistent, sustained success.

170
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 2: And I think it gets to a point where if

171
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 2: you have a couple of misses, you know you can

172
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: you can blow a year just by a couple of

173
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 2: portal misses.

174
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 4: You know.

175
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 2: That's That's the thing where I would not want. I

176
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 2: would want guys like that like Indiana's got committed Chase Brandon, Boncarvola,

177
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 2: Prince Alexander Moody, Trevor Manhurst. You know, those are kind

178
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 2: of guys that I would I would certainly target.

179
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 1: You know, Jeff brab John's my guest Peaks dot Com.

180
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: He's on the Java House Colebrew Coffee guest line, Jeff,

181
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: when you you look at Indiana right now and you

182
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: look at this season, and as the analogy I've used

183
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: all along, this is a roster that basically looks like

184
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: the TJ Max checkout line.

185
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 4: You know.

186
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: I mean there's some really good bargains in there, and

187
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: then there's other stuff you're like, well, okay around out

188
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: the purchase. Darren DeVries had to put it together late.

189
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: I get that. I know they need more size for

190
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: next year.

191
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 4: I know there.

192
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: You know, we've talked about the areas where this roster

193
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: just has not you know, has had weakness. But stylistically

194
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: speaking and schematically speaking, what did we learn in year

195
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: one about Darren Devrees that is the reason people should

196
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: be optimistic about Indiana in his tenure.

197
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a really good question, Jake. I think a

198
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 2: couple of things. One there, they're definitely going to utilize shooting.

199
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 2: And you look at teams that advance in the NCAA

200
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 2: Tournament and the mature of them shoot it pretty well.

201
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 2: From three Arizona this year is a little bit of

202
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 2: an outlier from that. But I think, you know, one

203
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 2: of the problems under Woody was they didn't take threes

204
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 2: at a rate that even really gave them a chance

205
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 2: to have good offensive metrics. And you know, when you're

206
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 2: out there taking long twos, unless you are the greatest

207
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 2: jump shooter in the history of the game, it is

208
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 2: not going to work. Your offense is not going to

209
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 2: be productive enough. So I think we learned that they

210
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 2: do want to style that's very, very conducive to getting threes.

211
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 2: You look at the shot quality metrics and they're way

212
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 2: up there. That's why as shot quality, I understand there's

213
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 2: been some games where they haven't gone down. There's difference

214
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 2: between you didn't make the shot and versus you took

215
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: a bad shot. So I think they hunt threes. They

216
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 2: take a lot of good threes, They run a lot

217
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 2: of stuff that works well to get threes. And I

218
00:10:55,400 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 2: think games like the last Game Means Minnesota shows that

219
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 2: you know, they do have the ability to get the

220
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: ball into the paint. And you know, Samu Alexis has

221
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 2: had a good year, he's been solid. But if you

222
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 2: take that level, you know, if you take that that

223
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 2: position the post, and all of a sudden, you you

224
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 2: increase the talent level. You know, games like he had

225
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: against Minnesota. Aren't going to be you know, one one off,

226
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 2: you know, one of two or three or four during

227
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: the course of the season. You can have somebody who

228
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 2: can do it better or be more productive there. So

229
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 2: I think those are the things. And I also think

230
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 2: you know, Darren was on the staff at Creighton when

231
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 2: they kind of came up with the hole try to

232
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 2: score the first twelve seconds, you know that there was

233
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 2: a year there. I think they were going into the

234
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 2: n I T and they were tinkering with some stuff

235
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 2: and they said, well, let's try this, and it turned

236
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 2: out it worked really well. But you've got to have

237
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 2: a couple of athletic guards to that.

238
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think they tried to do that earlier.

239
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: They could do it with Wilkerson, but then they figured

240
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: out pretty quickly, right like, well wait a minute.

241
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 2: You know what I yeah, yeah, they're just not and

242
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 2: you know, and Tucker to Tucker is very skilled, you know,

243
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 2: but he's not like an.

244
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 3: Athlete out there.

245
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 4: He is not.

246
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 2: And he'll tell you, you know, he's like, no, I'm a

247
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 2: vastual player, but I'm not an athlete. He just so

248
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 2: I think they would. I think if they can get

249
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 2: a higher level of guard you know, or multiple guys

250
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 2: you know, to where there's real quickness with the ball.

251
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 2: I think they'd like to speed it up a little

252
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 2: bit more. But when you don't have that, you just

253
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 2: you really can't run. It's like that old thing in football.

254
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 2: You can't call, which can't block, and so you can't

255
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 2: run if you don't have five guys who can run.

256
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: Jeff, there's a reason I keep bringing you back on man.

257
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: I always appreciate the perspective and all the insights about

258
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: Indiana basketball. And obviously you'll have all the coverage of

259
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: the Big Ten tournament as well, and you know what

260
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: goes beyond that for Indiana as well as recruiting in

261
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: the off season as this continues to develop, moving forward,

262
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: to appreciate the time as always.

263
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 2: Jake always enjoy talking with the brother. Well, we'll catch

264
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 2: up again soon.

265
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 4: Appreciate it, Jeff rab John's joining us again.

266
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: Java House by the Colebrew Coffee guest Line used the app,

267
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 1: the Java House app, and you can see their entire

268
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: menu there as well as their locations, their cafe locations

269
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: and before you even go in order ahead of time,

270
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: it's ready right there for you and if you use

271
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: used to code Jake twenty five on the app, you're

272
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 1: gonna get twenty five percent off your order. So I

273
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: was a little off on the time last night. On

274
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: our fan group text it was one thirty eight am.

275
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 4: I was wide awake.

276
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: I went and played Matt Taylor's Indiana Sports Trivia last night.

277
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 1: I actually didn't play, but I went just to soak

278
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: in the environment last night at the Bulldog. I love

279
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 1: the Bulldog. First off, that goes without saying would you

280
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: have one?

281
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 4: What's that?

282
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: Would you have one? You know, I don't want to

283
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: be braggadocious here. Yes, although there was a team from

284
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: Bill Brooks was there. It was good to see Bill Brooks.

285
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: Kevin Bowen was there. Kevin tapped out early. I understand

286
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: he's got to get up early. But it was a

287
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: ton of fun. Chiefs fan Steve was there along with Brenda,

288
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: which means their little dog Milton was home throwing a

289
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: party probably, but I was there.

290
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 4: Maybe with Boo. That's right, Milton and Boo would get along,

291
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 4: so you know, I'm there for that.

292
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: And then I see my buddy Bulldog Bill and the

293
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: whole group there and get home and just was taking

294
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: care of stuff and watching TV. You know, I told

295
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: you I'm addicted to this new British or not new,

296
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: but new to me, this British television show, that dating

297
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: game where everybody's naked, naked and afraid. No, it's called

298
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: Naked Attraction. Oh and if you can get past the

299
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: lack of dental work, it's quite intriguing. But it takes

300
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: place in Britain, so at any rate, I'm sitting there

301
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: watching it and suddenly my phone my phone, and I'm like,

302
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: what in the world. I look and there's a desperate

303
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: text from Eddie seeking advice one eight am. Now I

304
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: noticed that nobody responded. I know I was probably the

305
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: only one awake. Jamie b might have been up, but

306
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: nobody responded to you. But would you like to please

307
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: inform the listening audience what it was that I was

308
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: your night to go awry?

309
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 5: I got locked out of my house. Okay, hold on,

310
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 5: I got locked out of my own home. How old

311
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 5: are you? Twenty seven? Twenty seven? I'm gonna make a

312
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 5: few notes.

313
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 4: Here, a couple of issues here.

314
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: Don't and I don't mean to divulge too much personal

315
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: information about your life, yep, but I'm seemingly thinking from

316
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: previous conversations, you live within somewhat proximity of where.

317
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 4: Your folks live correct twenty minutes. Yes, oh is that okay?

318
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 4: I was thinking it was it's John that lives next.

319
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 5: Door, right, yes, Jamv and my parents are neighbors.

320
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you okay, so you were locked out? Now

321
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 4: is this a.

322
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: You do not live in an apartment complex and or building, right,

323
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: it's an actual house, actual house. Yes, so there's a yard, right, yes, okay,

324
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: you know a lot of people. One of the one

325
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: of the common ways to avoid such a thing is Sullivan.

326
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: You know Pat Sullivan that we do the you know

327
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: he does obviously the show in w Guy any Soulivan Hardware,

328
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: amongst other places you can.

329
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 4: This is hear me out here.

330
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: You can take your key end and you say, yeah,

331
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: can I get a few copies of this made? And

332
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: then they put on it looks kind of like what

333
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: you had in wood shop, and a guy puts on

334
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: little goggles.

335
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 2: And the.

336
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 4: Easy wine and then boom they've got you got an

337
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 4: extra key. Huh.

338
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's an option. But then, and this is

339
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: where it gets tricky. Then comes the question where do

340
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: you place said, spare key. Now, a lot of people

341
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: they have a you know, friend or a neighbor that

342
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: kind of thing, and you say, hey, just out of curiosity,

343
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: can I lend you know, I trust you. The problem

344
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: they're being eddy is we know you only have one friend.

345
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: That's your buddy, Alec. Now is Alec not trustworthy with keys?

346
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 2: He he is?

347
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I can trust him with keys. Yeah, you just

348
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 5: have not given him this responsibility. I just have not

349
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 5: given him a spare key to the house.

350
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 3: Now.

351
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: So the other option is you can buy one of

352
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: these decoys. There are several of them. A fake looking

353
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: rock that seems obvious. I will admit that if I

354
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: was a bandit, I'd just start going around neighborhoods looking

355
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 1: for rocks. Oh look, there's a perfectly symmetrical rock that

356
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: looks plastic that happens to be sitting on that person's patio.

357
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:14,479
Speaker 4: That seems a little obout.

358
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 5: I've also seen things on different you know services apps

359
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 5: or whatever, where they have like these birdhouses, and in

360
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 5: the birdhouse there's a secret compartment for a key.

361
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: Oh no, that's that's good. Now, you got to hope

362
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 1: there's not a burden there that would ruffle some feathers, right.

363
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know.

364
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I were very very funny. Okay, so what

365
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: so what did you end up doing? The other option is,

366
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: of course breaking a window pane and then reaching in.

367
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 4: Then you run.

368
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: If you're in my case, on the blood thinners, you

369
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: could have a real problem on your hands.

370
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 5: So your your primary question here is how I got

371
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 5: back into my home and not how I got locked

372
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 5: out of my home.

373
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 1: Well how did you get I mean, I know how

374
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 1: you got locked out. You left the house, you locked

375
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: the door, and then you realize, oh, the keys run on.

376
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 5: I locked the door. Really yeah, this is this is

377
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 5: where the story is funny. I was doing somehow work.

378
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 5: I was cleaning up and everything. I was like, oh,

379
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 5: I got to take out the trash, trash cans. Foles like, okay, hey,

380
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 5: just let the dogs back into the house. And we've

381
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 5: got to Joey and Yogi. Yogi's a Corgy and Joey

382
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 5: is a Texas Blue Healer, which is an Australian shepherd

383
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 5: and a cattle dog mix.

384
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 4: And he's a mini and so Joey wait, wait, he's

385
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 4: he's from Texas, but a mini. That seems like I'm

386
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 4: not going to get it. Everything's bigger in Texas.

387
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

388
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 5: Anyway, so, uh, Joey likes to go outside. When fore

389
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 5: I go outside? And I was like, no, you just

390
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 5: went out the grass in the yard is what. I

391
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 5: just wiped your paws off. I don't want to have

392
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 5: to do all that again. So I shut the door

393
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 5: behind me, and so he starts pawing at the glass.

394
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 5: He gets down and we have detached garage. So it's

395
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 5: taking the trash a trash. Can I come back to

396
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 5: open the door? Door's locked. It locks you out. Pawing

397
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 5: at the doorknob to try to get outside, and he

398
00:18:58,680 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 5: locked the doorknob.

399
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: Okay, well listen, that'll teach you, right. This was the

400
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 1: Texas fellow. The other one, the Texas fella.

401
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, have you been to Texas?

402
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 3: No?

403
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, people there very actually yes, I have been to Texas.

404
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

405
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 3: No.

406
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 4: I don't know if you know this or not.

407
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: Texas was once part of a different country than during

408
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: the Old.

409
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 4: Southwest under James K. Polk.

410
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: It was annexed in the United States, but there was

411
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: some friction going on there. People in Texas very very

412
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,959
Speaker 1: strong willed, very proud folks, very you know, what I

413
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: mean ranger types, So not surprising at all. If you

414
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: weren't doing what he wanted that he just said, okay,

415
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 1: deal with it. He locked you out, so your dog

416
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: locked you out of your own home?

417
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 4: Yes, he locked me out of my own house.

418
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 5: So I did call up Alec because Alec does live

419
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 5: within a close radius.

420
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 3: Of my house.

421
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 4: It's like, hey, I'm locked out.

422
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 5: I gotta wait for one of my parents to get

423
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 5: home from work to grab the spaarra key from their

424
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 5: house to get to my home so I can get

425
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 5: in my own house. He said, well, I'm at the gym,

426
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 5: but you can go to Chicago's Pizza because they had

427
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 5: nineteen cents you're Indiana locations.

428
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 4: He did say that. I did see him say that. Yes,

429
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 4: uh huh. Now let me ask you this.

430
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 1: Now they're not opening that late unfortunately, although I will

431
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 1: say for Chicago's Pizza, you still have thirty three minutes

432
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: to get in for their lunch.

433
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 5: But I do appreciate all the people that did reply

434
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 5: to my tweet last night and gave me suggestions on how.

435
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 4: To So how did you get in?

436
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 5: I waited for my mom and dad to come and

437
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 5: let me in with the spare key, thankfully, because we

438
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 5: had the detached garage. Jake, I had a spare pair

439
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 5: of shoes in the garage. I was just in my

440
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 5: socks when I walked out to go take the trash out.

441
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: So, wait, un one a time, didn't you moonlight in

442
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: a place that actually makes keys? Yeah, I'll be honest

443
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: with you. I had to endure nearly a decade of

444
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: radio with Derek Schultz. Yeah, and I thought at that

445
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: time I was working and I'm friends with Mike Byron.

446
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: This guy can't remember his passport when we go to

447
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: anywhere outside the United States. I thought those types were

448
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: absent minded. The doll I get you there. But there

449
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: has to be Eddie. It wasn't raining when no built

450
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: the arc. There has to be a plan ahead of

451
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: time for future reference. So we need to make sure

452
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: that we're getting this taken care of for future reference

453
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: should it happen again.

454
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 4: You know, one of the things that is I think

455
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 4: unique to this market.

456
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 1: Is you know, I've only so I can't speak to

457
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: it with totality here, but I have only worked in

458
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: Indianapolis and Saint Louis in terms of sports coverage.

459
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 4: But I lived in New York briefly.

460
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 1: I've lived in Kansas, obviously briefly, but also knowing and

461
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: having friends that have lived elsewhere in different cities.

462
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 4: The passion for high school.

463
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: Sports in this town, I do think is unique for

464
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: a city this size that has the number of professional

465
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: sports that we do. And I mean this sincerely. One

466
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: of the most critical things of having a city that

467
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: has the passion for high school sports like Indianapolis or

468
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: the state of Indiana does is making sure that you

469
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: have somebody that has their finger on the pulse of

470
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: everything as it's happening. And I can't imagine that it

471
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: would be possible in any other market to have somebody

472
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: that has a better understanding of the nuances, the personalities,

473
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: the games, and the storylines of all aspects of prep

474
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: sports the way Indiana does. With Kyle Edenrip at the

475
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Star, I think we have lost and clueless.

476
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 3: We bring on Kyle Edenrip from the Inn Star.

477
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 1: That's right, and he joins us now on the Java

478
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: House Colebrew Coffee guest line.

479
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 4: Hi, Kyle, how are you.

480
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 6: You just diminished everything you said before that?

481
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 4: No? No, no, I didn't you did? Eddie, whose voice

482
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 4: is it? That's saying that, Eddie, can we play that

483
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 4: one more time?

484
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 3: Speaking have lost and clueless? So we bring on Kyle

485
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 3: Edrip from the Inn Star. There you go, I did

486
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 3: say that. Yeah, that's right.

487
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 2: Bad.

488
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't be throwing me out of that bus you're driving.

489
00:22:59,600 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 3: Pal.

490
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 4: Hey, here we are. This is your time, man. I mean,

491
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 4: you know, obviously high.

492
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 1: School football, we get the High School Football Tournament, which

493
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: I think is kind of underrated in terms of Indiana's

494
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: enthusiasm for it. But here we are in the midst

495
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: of Hoo's your hysteria. And one of the interesting things

496
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: that you have in the Indianapolis Star is just you know,

497
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: kind of like twenty takeaways, twenty twenty storylines that maybe

498
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,239
Speaker 1: we weren't anticipating at this point. What jumps out at

499
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: you when you look at sectionals that you say to

500
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 1: yourself back in January, I wouldn't have seen that coming.

501
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 3: Boy, I would.

502
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 6: There are definitely some teams that have come on strong,

503
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 6: like HSE I think is a good example of that that,

504
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 6: you know, maybe we didn't expect. Honestly, going into the season,

505
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 6: I thought they would be a team to watch. I

506
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 6: thought they would you know, they're a senior heavy team,

507
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 6: but they also have a star sophomore Varshaw and Clark,

508
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 6: who people are going to know about if they don't already.

509
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 3: He's he's a big time Division.

510
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 6: One player eventually in a couple of years. But they

511
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 6: were kind of struggling along a little.

512
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 3: Bit mid season.

513
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 6: You know, they lost to actually lost to Noblesville, lost

514
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 6: pretty handily to Mount Vernon, and I think that was

515
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,959
Speaker 6: in towards the end of January. And ever since then

516
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 6: they've kind of just taken off and they won eight

517
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 6: in a row going into tonight, and obviously they got

518
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 6: a huge challenge ahead of them against Fishers tonight. But

519
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 6: you know, that's a school that you know, they know

520
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 6: each other really well, obviously the same district.

521
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 3: You know, there's not a lot of.

522
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 6: You know, secrets between the teams, I would say, and

523
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 6: they've played each other earlier this year, and you know,

524
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 6: there are some questions with Fishers, of course, mainly Jason

525
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 6: Gardner junior coming back for the first time since they

526
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 6: played each other but before Christmas, so that will be

527
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 6: a big storyline going into this game. But but they're

528
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 6: definitely one I would say that they have taken off

529
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 6: kind of rocketed here these last this last month or so,

530
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 6: and I thought played really well against Fishers. The other night,

531
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 6: Landon Oswald had a huge game. A senior lefty hit

532
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 6: a couple of threes in the fourth quarter and I

533
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 6: got them going and it was like, man, they were

534
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 6: kind of off off to the races there. But yeah,

535
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 6: I think it's going to be a fun.

536
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 3: Game tonight against Fishers.

537
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 6: And that's just one of the two games tonight with

538
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 6: you know, the Carmel Noblesville game first and not to

539
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 6: sell out over there at Noblesville, So that's gonna be

540
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 6: an awesome.

541
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 3: Crowd as usual.

542
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 6: I mean, no no surprise there that it's a packed house.

543
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 6: But but that'll be a fun one for sure.

544
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 4: Where will you find yourself tonight?

545
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 6: I will be at Plainfield, which I think is the

546
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 6: other you know there there's two that really pop off

547
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 6: the page.

548
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 3: I mean there's more than that.

549
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 6: There's a ton of great matchups tonight all over the state.

550
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 6: But for a doubleheader, and then really the first game

551
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 6: especially is one that you know, when the draw came out,

552
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 6: it was like, oh my, it's a pike in Plainfield

553
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 6: right out.

554
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 3: Of the gate.

555
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 6: The first game of the night tonight and then Ben

556
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 6: Davis Brownsburg should also be really interesting. But man, that

557
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,439
Speaker 6: Pike Plainfield game. You know, two top five teams, I

558
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 6: can't wait. And they haven't played this year, so that

559
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 6: kind of adds to the element of the unknown a

560
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 6: little bit, which is kind of rare for sexual opponents.

561
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 6: A lot of times these teams their conference rivals or

562
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 6: you know, see each other because their neighbors.

563
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 3: Uh.

564
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 6: These teams have not played this season, so that's gonna

565
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 6: be a lot of fun.

566
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: Kyle Nenrep is my guest. He is on the Java

567
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: House Coldbrew Coffee guest line. He is, of course with

568
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Star.

569
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 4: Kyle.

570
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: When you look at the beginning of the season to now,

571
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: what team would you say has most grown?

572
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 6: I would you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna say, and

573
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 6: this is a super talented team already, but I would

574
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 6: say there was with Pike. There's just a ton of

575
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 6: questions going in even though they're overflowing with talent.

576
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 3: Uh.

577
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 6: I thought when they played Fishers back, you know, and

578
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 6: that was relatively early in the season. It was just

579
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 6: after the new year. Uh and and and Fishers really

580
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 6: for the first three quarters just completely dominated them. Uh,

581
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 6: it was not even uh you know, the defensive intensity.

582
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 6: I didn't think Pike was ready for it. And then

583
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 6: the fourth quarter they kind of, you know, TJ. Davis,

584
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 6: their smaller senior guard, really kind of I think instigated

585
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 6: their rally and and kind of got them at least

586
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 6: back to where it was only a nine point game.

587
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 6: It was never completely in doubt, but they did rally

588
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 6: in the fourth quarter. I think since then they have

589
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 6: they played with the tougher edge to them. They've only

590
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 6: lost one more game since then. That was the Marion

591
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 6: County Championship against Lawrence North. They lost that game in

592
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 6: overtime without Johari Miller who had.

593
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 3: A concussion there late in the game.

594
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 6: But they've beat you know, they've won some really close

595
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 6: games against good teams like Carmel and malt Vernon Ben Davis.

596
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 6: So to me, like you know, Jeff Tiags team is, Yes,

597
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 6: they are super townent. A lot of people say they

598
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 6: might be the most talented team. You know, I would

599
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 6: argue Fishers is still really high up there. But but

600
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 6: you know, to me, the toughness level, the intensity they've

601
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 6: played with here lately, I think they've grown a lot

602
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 6: and I'm curious to see how that. You know, doesn't

603
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 6: mean they'll win tonight against a really good playing field team,

604
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 6: but I think they have grown a lot since the

605
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 6: start of the season.

606
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: Kyle, you have documented, you know, what Fishers has done

607
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: here right there. I think it's twenty three and zero

608
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: now is where they stand, you know, and there are

609
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: records that they could achieve just in terms of this

610
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: this streak that they're on. And I've talked about this

611
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: like with Miami of Ohio at the collegiate level, and

612
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: I know people can mock you know, their schedule or

613
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: whatever it may be. But I am a firm believer

614
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: that at some point a team that is unbeaten the

615
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 1: number and the they're almost playing against themselves.

616
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 4: It's like golf.

617
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: You know, you're you're constantly playing against your own best game,

618
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 1: and that pressure can be very internal and can be difficult.

619
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: Have you gotten a chance to be the coaching staff

620
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: or the players, or just of witnessing it with Fishers

621
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: to get an idea how they navigate if you will

622
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: that pressure or try not to scoreboard to walk too

623
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: much as the numbers increase.

624
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 6: I don't think they It's not something that they talk

625
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 6: about you know, it's it's never front of front of

626
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,719
Speaker 6: mind for them, and it really is impressive. I mean,

627
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 6: they've won fifty three regular season game in a row,

628
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 6: so you know that's you know, you're getting up into

629
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 6: argos of the you know there's still a ways away

630
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 6: from that, but you know that's seventy nine is the

631
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 6: all time state record, and you know that's not all

632
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 6: that far away when you consider the schedule they've played

633
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 6: and and the tough games they've had. And they did

634
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 6: lose obviously the game to Jeffersonville last year in the

635
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 6: state championship, and I know that was a crushing loss,

636
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 6: you know, and I would say too, like that shouldn't

637
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 6: be looked at as an upset. Jeffersonville was without Tray

638
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 6: Singleton for a large part of that season, and once

639
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 6: they got him back, they were just as good as fishers.

640
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 3: They beat him in the summer.

641
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 6: You know, they were legitimate title contender the whole time,

642
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 6: but to lose that game by one point was crushing.

643
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 6: So they kind of came back this year and I

644
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 6: didn't know, you know, they have so many new pieces

645
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 6: this year that you know, guys who played JV or

646
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,479
Speaker 6: you know, newcomers like Kimer Grew who came in from

647
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 6: Lawrence North, and just a different team.

648
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 3: They lost all those seniors and.

649
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 6: A lot of leadership from last year's team like Nathan

650
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 6: Baker and John Anthony Hall and Justin Kirby who's actually

651
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 6: on that Miami Ohio team this year as a freshman.

652
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 6: So they lost a lot of a lot of talent

653
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 6: and they've done this with you know, they still have

654
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 6: Cooper Zachary, Jason Gardner. Obviously they have a lot of

655
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 6: talent still, but it's been a different type of team.

656
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 6: I don't know if they you know, if you compare

657
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 6: the talent level or the experience from last year to

658
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 6: this year, you know, you probably picked last year's team.

659
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 6: So it is impressive. And honestly, you know, they've gone

660
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 6: through this year winning some really close games and they've

661
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 6: been pushed by, you know, teams like you.

662
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 3: Know, like Pike. That Pike game was a good one.

663
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 6: They they had, you know, Westfield had came back on them,

664
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:36,959
Speaker 6: sent the game to overtime and they had to win

665
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 6: that game in overtime. So it hasn't all been runaway games.

666
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 6: It's been some close ones and it seems like when

667
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 6: the you know, when the intensity of the game rises,

668
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 6: they seem to, you know, surge, and I think that's

669
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 6: a mark of a champion team that just kind of

670
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 6: has that confidence that you know, when it's when it's

671
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 6: time to win the game, they feel like they're going

672
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 6: to do it. And I know they they didn't do

673
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 6: it against Jeffersonville, but you know, like I said, that

674
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 6: was a very very good team. So to only lose

675
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 6: one time in the last two years, that's that's really impressive.

676
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: Lastly, Kyle, I know that you had the article this week,

677
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: but for those that did not see it, if you

678
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: could kind of reinform everybody, a top ten receiver of

679
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: the cut, you know, arguably one of the biggest recruits

680
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: to come out of Indiana in quite some time at

681
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: a skill set position, Monshen Sales, who we've talked about

682
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: from Lawrence North, has all, it appears, the tools to

683
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: be a college star. And we're now getting a better

684
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: idea what schools he is looking towards. Can he tell

685
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: us his visitation list and where you think he may

686
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: be leaning?

687
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he is.

688
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 6: You know, every time I've talked to him, he is.

689
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 6: He's really you know, been high on IU. I'm not saying,

690
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 6: you know, but there is a connection there. And I

691
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 6: may have talked to you about this before, but you know,

692
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 6: obviously Omar Cooper and Davion Chandler came from Lawrence North,

693
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,479
Speaker 6: these guys relationships with those two. Actually just saw him

694
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 6: another night at a at a game, I think it

695
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 6: was a Pike game and he was there to watch

696
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 6: it and Davion Chandler was with him and they were

697
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 6: they were being honored as the state track champions in

698
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 6: the spring at halftime. But uh so there's a real

699
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 6: you know, he calls him, you know, it calls Davy

700
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 6: and his brother. I mean they're very very close. Uh

701
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 6: and IU was on that list. He said, I you

702
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 6: has been. Last time I talked to him for a story,

703
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 6: he said, I you has has recruited.

704
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 3: Him more than anyone really.

705
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 6: So I mean that's that's that's high praise. And uh

706
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 6: but the other four schools, you know, they're you're you're

707
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 6: up against the blue bloods, and IU is a blue

708
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 6: blood now after they won the national championship. But you

709
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 6: you consider the other schools Alabama, Miami of Florida, and

710
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 6: Ohio State, and uh, you know it's it's uh, you know,

711
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 6: that's a very very good list obviously, and I think

712
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 6: it's gonna be you know, it's gonna be very tough,

713
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 6: I think.

714
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 3: I mean, I obviously inn il comes.

715
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 6: Into play when you're talking about these. He's going to

716
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 6: IU first for his official visit that is in April

717
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 6: late April. He's going to Alabama in late May, Ohio

718
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 6: State and Miami or back to back weekends in June. So, uh,

719
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 6: he's talked highly of all four of those schools, especially

720
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 6: i'd say Alabama because he has family connections there, you know,

721
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 6: so I've always thought, you know, if he turns down Alabama,

722
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 6: it's it's that'll be that'll be big news. But uh,

723
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 6: but yeah, I mean, I think he's still at the

724
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 6: point where he's learning about and he's in a position

725
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 6: honestly where he's a top ten player. You're not rushed

726
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 6: to make a decision here. I mean, teams are going

727
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 6: to wait for him, even though these are very highly

728
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 6: uh competitive teams that can get you know, a lot

729
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 6: of different recruits. They're going to wait for him to

730
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 6: make a decision. He's not going to be rushed into anything.

731
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 6: So I think he's in a good position where he

732
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 6: can kind of take his time, and he's got a good.

733
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 3: Head on his shoulders.

734
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 6: And you know, I think, you know, he's six five

735
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 6: and he can run, so you know he's going to

736
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 6: have you know, he's gonna have some great options. And

737
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 6: I hope, you know, for his sake, he uh, you know,

738
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 6: has a chance to really sit down and learn all

739
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 6: about these schools and and find the best situation for him.

740
00:33:58,320 --> 00:33:59,719
Speaker 6: I know a lot of people obviously in his ear

741
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 6: about you, but you know, you hope for the kid's sake,

742
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 6: he ends up in the best place possible for him

743
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 6: because he's an NFL player.

744
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 3: I have no doubt about that.

745
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: It is crazy still still for me to sit here

746
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: and think Alabama, Ohio State, Miami, Florida, I don't think. Yeah,

747
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: Indiana beat all three of them in the what it's

748
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 1: just insane. Kyle again, Plainfield tonight, where you will be
